Evil Characters?

[Emerelda]

i can be a good evil character i don't go around saying touch me and die, that's of course when im not hyper and jokeing around. But you can normally find be chasing around friends yelling DIIIIIEEEEE for no reason XD

How ironic that one SIMPLE thing changes a character (varies upon situation).

Dark is now more mellow. ...in her own way, since now found a mate (little over two weeks since then) but besides the point.

-Though you guys make subtle points (too lazy to read all posts from here), at least they aren't as bad as those "Gods" back in The Temple of Dreams. I mean really. C'mon. I may not be religious (no offense) but one (or six) gods is enough. Don't need to make twenty of them. Sorry if it seems off-topic but someone mentioned "God of excreta" and I had to add.

-don't know where this post would go, so I decided here is legit (unless somewhere else it fits...then move it.)

I think the word evil is being overused, I have a Lynx called Style, who isn't "evil" persay, but has some very VERY nasty characteristics and habits and is just unpleasant to be around as well as that little bit dangerous. Evil is a label, not so much a being =3

I find evil characters to be weird although most of the time, it's to do with how it's played out. It's especially annoying when these evil characters have a family which are somehow invincible because they're nearby (and i am referrencing someone who regulars the Temple of Dreams here) and is an all powerful being who hears everything, see's everything etc.


My character, Martok (created after my first, Sarkardo, died saving a friend (yes, i do RP death) after getting massive burns by jumping through a closing portal) is semi-evil in that his powers are evil, the power of physical entity manipulation so he can move stuff, change its size, shape, density etc and basically kill very quickly, and very slowly but he needs to see the target (the limitation I created so he isn't some uber powerful wolf), but once you get past his hard outer shell of 'oh...hi, what you want' etc, he's a really nice character and if you REALLY earn his trust, he will give his life to save yours if needed, like he did last night or at least, almost gave his life but saved the life of his now mate. However, he avoids killing and usually just maims to incapacity and then leaves then or helps them a bit so they don't die.

When people have so called evil characters, I think they think it's their ticket to easy god-moding and control. My thought of evil is something so despicable, that I, if faced with it, would do everything within my power to destroy it, and this is in RL. If you want to have a "truly evil" character in FH, don't expect me to take it seriously. A made up character cannot be truly evil, however much someone tries. Tis a virtual world and therefore, the limits are endless but also, not really there but are there in a sense.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm taking it two ways:
The first is that you're saying that the only thing stopping characters from being truely evil is the fact that they aren't real and cannot harm people in real life?

And the second is that; or are you saying that absolutely no fictional characters can be "truely evil"? Even the ones that are well thought out psychopaths/murderers/manipulators/etc?

What I mean is that they can't really hurt anyone how ever hard you try. A virtual world can be bent to your will but you cannot bend others to your will. So as much as you would like to your character to be truly evil, it's probably never going to happen, especially if no-one else regards your character as such =3

Oh ok yeah. Evil Noobs can open up the ground and slash your face in, but it only affects your OC if you want it to. It's more funny when you don't let it affect them, obviously XD

You guys go so in-depth with this. xDD

I've had a few evil characters myself. It does indeed make a great rp story if you rp it realistically, with odds that make sense.

Almost like, if an evil character recruits other evil characters to go up against someone. (Lol. TLK flashbacks)
What I really hate is how some people have evil characters and because of that, they think their character has to win the rp battle or whatever they're up against.

Also, sparklen00bs and their oh so bad characters. xD

and the powerplayers who maul entire continents without a single scratch laid upon themselves.

I could go on and on..... x'D

@Draak, yesums, tis true Things only happen if you let them XD
@Feartherface =3 Indeed you speak truely and you've touched upon what I said eariler, it seems to give the players a silly idea that said evil character is an easy permission slip to godmode. You are too epic XD
